US Patent 7860622 Motion control apparatus for vehicle

In this vehicle motion control apparatus, vehicle behavior sensors are arranged integrally with an integrated unit composed integrally of a control unit and a brake controller. An acceleration sensor is mounted in a section adjacent to the integrated unit. If an output value from the acceleration sensor for an airbag deployment exceeds a predetermined threshold due to a collision of the vehicle etc., the vehicle motion control apparatus determines there is a possibility that a mounting posture of the integrated unit relative to a vehicle body is tilted from a reference posture by a predetermined degree or more, then prohibiting performing an ESC control. And, the vehicle motion control apparatus lights a warning lamp to notify a driver of an occurrence of abnormality in the mounting posture of the integrated unit and to urge the driver to perform repairs for an adjustment of the mounting posture.
